Communicating Between Cultures  

 E-mail this product to a friend





Some "cultural givens" are so deeply imbedded as to be invisible to those who hold them. These assumptions lead to communication breakdowns that cause embarrassment, frustration, or even discrimination.

Communicating Between Cultures shows how to improve communication in a series of eye-opening cross-cultural situations.

• Ms. Yee and Mrs. Franklin discover that "getting right to the point" is as much a cultural value as "saving face."

• Ed and Tabore discover that even the simple act of saying "yes" or "no" has cultural implications.

• Brianna is shocked that Illya would graduate from college and even consider living in the same house as his parents.

• Alex can't understand why Frishta won't even give him a high five. Is she afraid of him? Is it something he said?

Telly Award Winner

The moment someone declares, “It’s a boy!” or “It’s a girl!” the biological make up of that child isn’t the only thing established - a process of gendering begins and continues throughout that person’s life.

One aspect of that process is how we learn to communicate. Based on the premise that males and females learn different ways to relate, this program investigates how communication styles fall onto a continuum of what society deems as masculine and feminine and what it means to deviate from the norm.

Running time: 21 minutes
